The construction sector plays a pivotal role in the global push for sustainability. While operational carbon has been in the spotlight for years, embodied carbon - the emissions generated during material production, transport, and construction - has become a key focus area for reducing the industry's environmental footprint.

To help professionals grasp the essentials of embodied carbon and develop effective sustainability strategies, Vizcab has designed a three-part learning journey, featuring three expert-lead webinars. This program is designed to provide a structured approach to understanding and addressing embodied carbon challenges.

Step 1: Understanding Embodied Carbon in Construction

Before tackling embodied carbon reduction, it’s crucial to understand what it is and why it matters. This introductory webinar explores the fundamentals of embodied carbon, its significance in the built environment, and the key drivers shaping policy and industry standards.

Step 2: Strategies and Best Practices for Reduction

Once the basics are clear, the next step is to explore actionable strategies for reducing embodied carbon. This session delves into industry best practices, innovative materials, and innovative construction techniques and technologies to illustrate how companies are successfully integrating low-carbon solutions into their projects.

Step 3: Harmonizing Environmental Product Data

As the construction industry faces increasing pressure to reduce its environmental footprint, data harmonization is essential. This final webinar brings insights from ECO Platform on how standardized environmental product data is shaping the future of embodied carbon policies and decision-making.

How to follow the program

This self-paced journey allows professionals to explore each topic progressively. Whether you’re new to embodied carbon or looking to deepen your expertise, this three-part series provides essential insights to help you navigate the evolving regulatory and market landscape.
